If you’re struggling with accountability consider setting weekly goals for yourself in relation to your time spent in the gym. I have recently set a goal of completing 90 minutes of cardio and 135 minutes of strength training each week. Setting such a goal has helped hold me accountable by allowing me to make my workout routine a priority. Whatever it takes, I make sure I reach my goal by week’s end, and even have incentive to finish it by Friday so I can take the weekends off.
In addition to this type of goal, I have set a physical goal of obtaining a lower body fat percentage. While my physical goal may take several months to reach, it is nice to still feel accomplished each week by reaching smaller and simpler time oriented goals. Take a look at your long term goals and consider developing an appropriate weekly plan. Staying committed to a specific plan will help you achieve your goals without feeling like it’s taking an eternity. Good luck!
